A collection of retellings, whether they're of myths and monsters or crafted origin stories for those without. Genres will vary depending on what vibe I get from each story and what sparks my interest most from what I read. Requests are welcome, but please don't expect quick turnaround on each and every one; I intend to dedicate hours of research to each topic and the respective culture so that every piece can feel as unique and immersive as possible. These will all be intentionally designed as short stories - if I feel I can go further with something, then I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

Creative liberty will be taken - I will stay as true to the original stories as possible, but I am also a creative writer who will fill in the blanks and flesh things out as I see fit.

This is an ongoing series alongside many other works, and, as I've mentioned, each piece will take time. Therefore, please do not expect frequent updates for these (I won't be as infrequent as once every couple of months, but don't be surprised if it only gets added to once a month).
